Corinne Bailey Rae<\/a> is a England-born soulful singer whose seminal hit, \u201cPut Your Records On\u201d was the indisputable ballad of the mid-2000s. She\u2019s received two Grammy awards, two MOBO (Music of Black Origin) awards, and in 2016 NPR called her most recent album, The Heart Speaks in Whispers, \u201cboundary-defying, epic music.\u201d<\/p>\n

We can\u2019t wait to groove with Corinne in Wanderlust O\u2019ahu this year, where she\u2019ll be headlining the main stage on Saturday night. To make the wait a bit shorter, we\u2019ve collected this list of our favorite of her most poetic lyrics. Know some we\u2019re missing? Let us know in the comments and we\u2019ll add it.

On Personal Growth<\/h3>\n

Maybe sometimes we’ve got it wrong, but it’s alright<\/em>
\nThe more things seem to change, the more they stay the same\u2026<\/em>
\nYou’re gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.<\/em>
\n\u2013 Put Your Records On<\/p>\n

Don’t you know that, that patience is a virtue (yes it is), and life is a waiting game…don’t you know that, peace must be nurtured<\/em>
\n\u2013 Seasons Change<\/p>\n

Life\u2019s shining around you<\/em>
\nDon\u2019t miss a day \/\/\u00a0If you\u2019re caught up in the chase<\/em>
\nYou hold your happiness away from you<\/em>
\nStop where you are \/\/\u00a0Under fading stars<\/em>
\nThis is the world we\u2019ve made<\/em>
\nThere is no better place, it\u2019s true<\/em>
\nLight a fire where you are<\/em>
\n\u2013 Stop Where You Are<\/p>\n

The crowd is so loud<\/em>
\nIt feels like they’ll drown you out<\/em>
\nAnd the waves crash down<\/em>
\nAnd there’s chaos all around<\/em>
\nDon’t let your mind rest on violence…<\/em>
\nThe skies will break for you, my friend…<\/em>
\nCause the heart speaks in whispers<\/em>
\n\u2013 The Skies Will Break<\/p>\n

On Relationships<\/h3>\n

I want you to travel with me<\/em>
\nLay loose and let your mind go free<\/em>
\nShow you things that you’ve never seen<\/em>
\nBut you just got to go with me<\/em>
\n\u2013 Closer<\/p>\n

Till then I wasn’t alive,<\/em>
\nI longed for you like the lovesick moon pulls the tide.<\/em>
\nSo I peeled off my skin,<\/em>
\nI just slipped right in<\/em>
\nAnd I become alive.<\/em>
\n\u2013 Diving For Hearts<\/p>\n

On Connection to the Divine<\/h3>\n

You can keep it all locked up in your leaden chest <\/em>
\nOr you can lay mouth open on the water’s edge <\/em>
\nBut all your angels and your God will stitch and wash you<\/em>
\n\u2013 I Would Like to Call It Beauty<\/p>\n

We travel into the night<\/em>
\nWe cross galaxies \/\/\u00a0We run we leap and we fly<\/em>
\nIt\u2019s not hard\u00a0\u2018cause we\u2019re called by a music we don\u2019t understand<\/em>
\nAnd we\u2019re drawn by the glow of a fire<\/em>
\nI\u2019m electricity \/\/\u00a0Burning bright energy<\/em>
\nCatch me on the 1,2,3<\/em>
\nI can do anything \/\/\u00a0Taken by dreams<\/em>
\n\u2013 Taken By Dreams<\/p>\n
